Triple H hasn't hesitated to give fans what they want more often than not since becoming the new head of WWE Creative, and recasting Superstars in the right roles has been one of his greatest strengths so far.

Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley are the latest examples of that, with the two undergoing a double turn last Monday on Raw. As a result, their forthcoming feud over the United States Championship is bound to be much more interesting going forward.

Unfortunately, the progression of their rivalry came at the expense of Austin Theory, who cashed in his Money in the Bank title shot and came up short. After all of the losing he's been doing in recent months, it came off as a burial of the 25-year-old more than anything else.

That isn't to say his career is dead in the water, but he'll need some significant repackaging in order to be taken seriously by the vast majority of fans again.

This installment of Quick Takes will tackle how Theory can be built back up, Full Gear being an important turning point event for All Elite Wrestling, who should win the AEW World Championship Eliminator Tournament, and more.

Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley Are Now Properly Cast Following Double Turn

WWE fans have been singing along to Seth Rollins' catchy song for well over a year, and now thanks to Triple H, he'll finally be able to embrace the cheers he's been getting.

His babyface turn was long overdue. Despite doing everything imaginable to elicit heat against a multitude of fan favorites this year, The Visionary reached a point where the positive reactions he was receiving were too much to ignore.

It also worked out that Bobby Lashley was fuming following his loss to Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel and understandably wanted to unleash his anger on Rollins after he cost him the United States Championship in October.

The All Mighty was in his element as a heel during his six-month period as WWE champion, while Rollins excels whenever the audience is behind him. Once this rivalry runs its course, there are plenty of potential programs for both men in their new roles.

The timing of these turns couldn't be better, and it makes for an exciting United States title defense at the Survivor Series...assuming that's the direction WWE is headed.

Full Gear Must Be What Gets AEW Back on Track

The controversial backstage brawl that took place shortly after September's All Out led to several top-level stars being suspended and AEW having to change plans considerably.

It's been over two months since the incident occurred and the weekly product remains rather uneventful. Saturday's Full Gear pay-per-view has promise on paper, but the buildup has left a lot to be desired.

The undercard includes several matches that could steal the show, such as Jack Perry vs. Luchasaurus and the four-way for the Ring of Honor World Championship. Even Saraya's return to the ring against Britt Baker should be fun to follow.

Ultimately, the success of the show will depend on what happens in the main event when MJF challenges Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship. It's perhaps the biggest bout AEW can do right now and the outcome will determine the immediate future of AEW TV.

Dynamite and Rampage have lost much of their luster this fall because of how thrown-together most of what we've been seeing has felt, but a strong Full Gear can go a long way in injecting new life into the product.

Ricky Starks' Strong Singles Push Should Begin by Winning Eliminator Tourney

It's mind-boggling that Ricky Starks hasn't done more on his own so far having been in AEW since June 2020, but it's better late than never.

As soon as he declared himself for the annual AEW World Championship Eliminator Tournament in the weeks preceding Saturday's Full Gear, it became apparent he had to win the whole thing. No one else involved comes close to being on his level aside from Ethan Page.

The key with Starks, as it is with many others on the AEW roster, will be giving him consistent television time post-Full Gear. It's nearly impossible for anyone to maintain momentum when they only pop up once or twice a month, especially Starks who was doing a whole lot of nothing aside from his split from Powerhouse Hobbs.

His next focus should be on Winter Is Coming on December 14, and if MJF leaves Full Gear the new AEW world champion, that should be a barn-burner. Booking him to lose is expected and acceptable provided he's able to look credible in defeat.

Brief injuries aside, there really is no logical reason why Starks hasn't been afforded more opportunities. A strong showing against MJF for the top title could cause his stock to skyrocket, though.

Gunther vs. Strowman Is Next Big Intercontinental Championship Attraction

Looking at the layout of the rest of the SmackDown World Cup, no one makes more sense to emerge victorious than Braun Strowman.

His recent social media activity has certainly been questionable, but there's no denying how over with the audience he's been since returning to WWE in September. He and Omos are also fresh off a better-than-expected bout at Crown Jewel, which was won by Strowman.

In order to be bumped from the semifinals, he would have to be eliminated by Mustafa Ali, Ricochet, Sami Zayn or Butch, and none of those outcomes seem realistic.

In his five months as intercontinental champion, Gunther has taken on all comers and defended his title against a variety of challengers, none bigger than The Monster of All Monsters. That fresh dynamic alone will make the match worthwhile.

Of course, it would be booking malpractice for Strowman to be the one who dethrones The Ring General as champ, but everything about the contest screams "spectacle" and should be enjoyed for what is.

Austin Theory Can Bounce Back in Due Time

Everything about Austin Theory's Money in the Bank cash-in was handled horribly last Monday on Raw, but that doesn't mean his career has been completely killed.

At the age of 25, he has his whole career in front of him. This likely won't be the last time he'll be wronged by the booking, and assuming the aftermath is adequate, he can eventually wipe off the stench of failure and correct course.

What WWE does with Theory from here on out is the question, and at the very least, he could use a string of wins in the worst way.

A move to SmackDown would also allow him to work with a fresh batch of opponents and find his way back up the ladder. The blue brand has a stacked roster in its own right, but he'll continue to get lost in the shuffle on Monday nights if he stays put.

Above all else, a serious edge will be what takes Theory to that next level. It can come in a program with John Cena around WrestleMania season or with someone else before then, but for him to not change anything about his act coming off the failed cash-in would be a huge missed opportunity.
